lican friends are very indignant at
him and denounce him as a dema-

will be elected about Thursday,
and may be, before that day. Two

will vote for him, and in addition,
enough Republicans to elect him.
Many Republicans declare they
will not permit the session to close
without electing a Senator, and as
a choice between Democrats they
will vote for Camden. They in
dignantly repudiate the idea of
permitting the election to go by
default and allow Gov. Wilson to
appoint the Senator.
A bill has passed the House pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in this

guilty of selling liquors unlawfully,

on examination, he finds reasona-

recognize the party to answer an
